CALL FOR EDITOR(S):

Feminist Media Histories: An International Journal

University of California Press is seeking a new editor for its journal, Feminist Media Histories. This quarterly, peer-reviewed publication has been charting feminist histories of multiple media formats, industries, and practices since 2015. This position will succeed founding editor, Shelley Stamp, when her term completes in December 2019.

Feminist Media Histories publishes original research, oral histories, and photo essays on radio, television, film, video, games, digital technologies, and other media across a range of historical periods and global contexts. Inter-medial and trans-national in its approach, Feminist Media Histories examines the historical role gender has played in varied media technologies, and documents women’s engagements with these media as audiences, users and consumers, creators and executives, critics, writers and theorists, technicians and laborers, educators, activists, and librarians.

The Editor will be responsible for soliciting, reviewing and making final decisions on submissions to the journal and will manage all aspects of the publication and review process working with an editorial board and UC Press staff as appropriate.

Applicants should have a distinguished scholarly record in the field of media or film studies, or related fields. Previous journal editorial experience is preferred, but not required. Applicants should possess strong organizational and management skills, the ability to work with others and a commitment to publishing high quality, relevant, and engaging scholarship.

Applicants should develop and share their vision and strategy for Feminist Media Histories including mission, aims and scope, strategies for developing and acquiring content, and Editorial Board structure. University of California Press offers a modest stipend for editorial support for this position.

Applicants are encouraged to submit applications by December 31st 2018, although applications will be considered on an ongoing basis.
